Third Life Crisis
Oh my God
When is this going to stop
Sip the salt from my eyes
Grip the blood from my flesh
Stop the red flashing lights
Holding on to thin lines
I’ll try not to be seen
But my words shoot to kill
Never thought this was love
Trying not to be hurt
Never lift a finger
But lift voices from under
Coats are calling your name
Garbage just thrown away
You were never to hear
That these wounds never do
Disappear in the woods
